There are 94 honorary members and 25 absentee members and 10 schoolgirl associates. "In view of the fact that the New Zealand ladies' championship was being held in October at Timaru, it was deemed advisable to postpone the Canterbury Cup open meeting, which is usually held in the week following Easter week, until the end of September in order that the players ooming from the north might be able to compote. This alteration proved very successful, and a large entry was secured. The cup was won by Miss B. Gaisford, and Miss O. Kay was the runnerup.
